I hear ya about the hat-looking-good-on-me issue. I think most women feels this way. I love how my daughter looks in this style of hat. The key is to make sure your hair is showing. Even if you have short hair, pull some down around your face.

The biggest problem I've run across is that not all fingering weight yarns are alike. I use the 3mm needle suggested in the pattern, but get a different gauge when the fingering yarn is, say, Knit Picks or Patons Kroy. The Knit Picks yarn makes for a little bit larger hat. When I use the Patons, it's a wee bit tight.

I just makes notes all over the paper pattern about which yarn and needle size I'm using for the best result.
